Mietta's Review
There is a wonderful sense of fun that prevails throughout the dining experience at Ants Bistro, a new eatery off a little lane way in Chinatown. Of course, 'ants on the tree' is a speciality here, a great version too, pork mince, chilli, mushroom and red peppercorns cling tightly to vermicelli noodles. Dishes are predominantly Northern Chinese and made well. The dining room is clean and stylish and the menu offers good value.
